Sprite Backup vs lock password - Touch Viva, MDA Basic General

Any body can tell me how do remove the lock password? When using Sprite backup to RESTORE, the unit password becomes a problem since you can't punch in fast enough the password before Sprite backup says "cannot connect" and than you have to cancel job.
I waisted 2 hours trying to reload a backup because of it. There must be a way to remove lock without HARD RESET the unit!

what's the unit password u r speaking about?

BA Backup with WM5

How can i make back-up after the WM2K5 upgrade? In Activesync 4, there is no longer the backup tool. And I tried Sprite Backup Premium, no chance! (it worked before with WM2K3SE).

BA backup with WM5 upgrade
OK, I have tried the Sunnysoft Backup Manager, so far the back up process seems OK and the file stored in the SD storage card (.exe) . When I have time, I will hard reset, then test the Restore function, to see its effect as well as the impact with "persistant RAM". Vincent
Brilliant! I've asked the same question in the forum, and I didn't find any way to fix it. I'm crossing my fingers. Please post when you have tested it!
OK, I have tried the same, and I'm suspicious. A full backup of the unit only took 9 meg, and I have a lot more software on it than that. How big was your backup?
The suspicion was unfounded! It works!!! Just did a hard reset and then restored the backup, and even the TomTom GPS was where it should be! Only thing I see this far is that I have to set up a new partnership in Active Sync, and that the Today theme isn't shown correctly, but those are minor problems.
Edit: Warning: The contacts and calendar info doesn't seem to have survived. I keep them in my PC, so I'm not that worried, but of course that would be a problem on the road...

Worked here too flawlessly, I'm so happy, but... I need a full version of SunnySoft Backup Manager 3.5

I have emailed them about the contacts and calendar issue, I also found that it doesnt back up emails either, maybe you could also send them an email as well so they get on with finding a fix?

Backup problem with 2 identical programs

I've searched in the forum for my problem and i came up empty.
Anyhow, i just got my Kaiser last monday and ive been reading up on all the tweaks and what not. My phone came with sprite backup and i've been doing some regular schedule back up.
Today i decided to do a hard reset and learn how to do a restore from a card. I was successful, but there was a snag. I noticed that i have 2 programs of Video and pictures and Audio manager.
I tried deleting it under Remove programs but i figured this is from the ROM. Is there anyway i can get rid of the 2 excess programs? Or is this just 2 shortcuts?
If its the latter, how do i get rid of it?
thanks in advance
It's just two shortcuts. File Explorer to Windows-Start Menu-Programs and blow one away from there or the sub-folders.
Figured it out. Thanks.
I had the same problem, but my device is only thwo weeks so I decided to do a hard reset and to put everything again.
What is this problem, because I saw that there was also problems to change the items in the start menu.
This is a problem of backup or restoring and what can I do to not have this.
Sprite Backup ver 5 didn't do as well with restoring start menu items. Also, ver 5 was never fully WM6-compliant. Sprite Backup 6.x is the first WM6 compatible. Ver 5 works but it has some funny things left over after the restore. I also had issues with dup email and contacts with ver5. Using ver6 takes care of it.
And no, you can't get 6 for free. You have to buy the full version. One note, if you have purchased ver6 for smartphone, the license keys and the installer is the same for both SP and PPC, so you don't really have to buy again. I was lucky, I had bought sprite backup 6.1 for my blackjack, and sure enough I can use the same key on my Tilt.

Back up contacts on the device?

i have trouble syncing the device with my pc, and as a last resort, i thought to delete the partnership and start from scratch.
last time i ve done this, i lost all my contacts from the phone, and i want to back them up in case it happens again.
What program should i use?
PIMBackup
PIMBackup is the best option for use on pda imo. and it's free
thank you very much for the program. sadly the problem still exists, it tells me to reconnect the device and try again, and that doesnt do anything
Use sprite backup to keep everything safe, do a hard reset and then see if it's still doing the "reconnect thing"

Recovering from a damaged screen

After a meeting with a desk, my Wing's screen is completely fubar. Of course the phone still boots up fine, I can make and answer calls, etc.
What I really want to do is recover my SMS / MMS history. Everything else is backed up via Activesync. Since I have no screen it is hard to run the PIM backup.
Any suggestions?

Sprite Backup problem

I recently got a new XDA stellar which came with Sprite BAckup. Ive used it a few times but im currently encountering the following problem:-
On Monday evening i suddenly could not access my messages/ email. Pressing the dedicated button or going via the menu simply wouldnt open the section. Absolutly nothing else had any problems.
I keep regular PIM Bacups plus a weekly Sprite Backup so i wasnt too worried. Reset the device and happy days messages working again. I loaded in my last PIM backup and they all came back no problem. BUT after i re loaded my last Sprite BAckup (made on teh 4th July) i experienced the same problem. Several different attempts, resets, hard resets are still elaving me the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Thing is i have over 7000 messages that i need to have access to. I know if i go to the hassle i can load my backup, get any program reg codes and copy any files, but it seems a major hassle. Has anyone any suggestions what the problem may be?
Thanks
You must have made a change that affected your device and your backup is restoring the issue. Maybe go with a backup before the 4th.
